Watermelon Juice - A perfect thirst quencher

We always prefer eating fresh fruits to juice. Especially when
it comes to oranges, watermelons and apples. Generally I just cut the green
part of watermelon arrange it in a bowl
or plate and not bother about the seeds as I just throw them as and while
eating them.

I have made watermelon juice harldly 4-5 times in so many years
as they were so sweet that it never went into making juice. Whenever they weren’t
sweet I ended up making salads or juice, I used to deseed these and make juice
but a friend of mine told me there is no need to do this just pulse it a few
times and the juice gets ready.

Watermelon juice is not a rocket science but I wanted my
blog to have a few juice recipes so here it is for you all J.

We need:

Ingredients

3 cups watermelon chunks with rind and seeds removed*

1 tsp lemon juice*

5-6 mint leaves

Sugar as per taste *

1/4 tsp of black pepper powder*

Method:

In a blender, take
watermelon chunks, add lemon juice and pulse it until smooth. Check the
consistency and adjust it with required amount of water. Add sugar, salt,
pepper powder and mint leaves. Strain the juice if you have not deseeded the watermelon just
like I did.

Pour the juice in glass, garnish if you want with watermelon
pieces if you wish to or mint leaves. Serve it chilled or add ice cubes before
serving.

Note:

Adding pepper powder,lime juice is totally optional.

I have not deseeded the watermelon as they had very little
seeds in it.

Add Sugar according to the sweetness according to the
sweetness of the Watermelon.

Hello all, hope u had a great weekend we to did... infact its the 2nd day of the week for us and we r waiting for the weekend eagerly as its celebration time for us J. Some food pictures attract one so much that you feel like
eating it right away. Same did this picture do to me! I wanted to gulp it right
away but there was no way that I could get it anywhere here or make it the
moment I saw. So I had to wait for a day and made it the very next day. I kept
all the things ready in the morning so that I don’t miss a single thing. But I
had a few doubt’s which Prathibha cleared the very moment I asked her.
Thank U Prathy for the recipe as well as guiding me when I was in a doubt.
It was so yum that I we(even my lil one) could not resist eating it. I
made puri’s also at home as we could have as much as we want and my little one

I hope you can spare with me and try to read the significance of both the festivals. I have collected it from Many sources like my Mom, Granny and last but not the least Google Aunty.Now for the significane:Tulsi:Tulsi came out of the ocean during Amrita manthan as a younger sister of Lakshmi. She too was devoted to Lord Vishnu and wanted to marry him. But Lakshmi who was already married to him did not like the idea and cursed her to become a plant. Thus the tulsi plant was born. But the all merciful Lord Vishnu took pity and fulfilling her wish declared that when he will be in the form of a saligram she will remain close to him in the form of a tulsi leaf. Therefore even today a saligram will have a tulsi leaf along with it. In front of every GSB home there will be a …

Its just a 4 days for Deepavali… and m sure all are busy preparing sweets and savories for this Deepavali…. I m posting the wishes and a sweet today itself as I may not be able to blog for some time. Deepavali is the festival of Lights. The word 'Deepavali' is made up of two simple words. 'Deepa' means light and 'Avali' means a row. Hence 'Deepavali' means a row of lights. The festival is associated with many legends and beliefs. One of them is to commemorate the killing of Narakasura, a notorious demon, by Lord Krishna. Narakasura, because of his previous store of virtue, had been granted a boon at the moment of his death. He asked that his death might ever be, commemorated as a day of feasting. Hence Deepavali is known as 'Naraka Chaturdashi. So this Deepavali, as you shop for Diyas, ponder upon its flame's spiritual nature. It will not only beautify and brighten your home, but will remind you of the transformations that it is meant to bring wi…
